Which statements describe aspects of what causes wind to blow? Select two options.Wind is caused by differences in air pressure.Wind moves from low pressure areas to high pressure areas.Differences in air pressure are due to unequal heating.Differences in air pressure are caused by oceans.Wind is caused by the Coriolis effect.
Answer
A
Wind is caused by differences in air pressure.
B
Wind moves from low pressure areas to high pressure areas.
C
Differences in air pressure are due to unequal heating.
D
Differences in air pressure are caused by oceans.
E
Wind is caused by the Coriolis effect.
Explanation
Unequal heating of Earth’s surface creates differences in air temperature and pressure. Air moves from areas of higher pressure toward areas of lower pressure, and this movement is wind. So wind is caused by differences in air pressure, and those pressure differences are due to unequal heating.
